Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the general form of a quadratic equation?

  1. ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0
  2. ax + b = 0, where a ≠ 0
  3. ax³ + bx² + c = 0
  4. ax² + bx + c = 0, where a = 0
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — ax² + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0
Award 1 mark. If a were 0 the x² term would vanish and the equation would be linear rather than quadratic.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the highest power of x in a quadratic expression?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 0
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — 2
Award 1 mark. The presence of an x² term as the highest power is what defines a quadratic.

CXC CAPE Pure Mathematics: Quadratics, the discriminant and inequalities FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CAPE students preparing for Pure Mathematics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Quadratics, the discriminant and inequalities practice with other Pure Mathematics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC CAPE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Quadratics, the discriminant and inequalities questions aligned to the official CXC CAPE Pure Mathematics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CAPE Pure Mathematics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC CAPE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC CAPE.
How is Quadratics, the discriminant and inequalities typically tested on CXC CAPE Pure Mathematics papers?
Quadratics, the discriminant and inequalities appears across multiple question types on real CXC CAPE Pure Mathematics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
